ESB is progressing well with national efforts to upgrade the electric vehicle public charging network across Ireland.   

The firm is working to install high power chargers nationwide as part of a €20 million investment in the public charging networks.

The intent of the programme is to update the charging speeds and technology, to improve reliability and to expand the network. The chargers are capable of being updated as technology improves further and allow for future expansion where possible.

Part of this project is focused on building and developing high power charging sites capable of charging multiple vehicles simultaneously.  High power chargers are 150kW and can deliver 100km of range to an EV in as little as six minutes.  20 sites have been completed to date with more to follow. 

The electrification of transport is a key component of ESB's low carbon strategy for a brighter future and forms an essential part of our Net Zero by 2040 strategy.  

With 1,350 charge points nationwide, it has never been easier to charge your electric vehicle.
